[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The council president’s budget proposal would cause all homeowners to pay more in taxes. [b]Households with $75k in income would take a harder hit than households making $150k. [/b]The only clear winners in this are landlords, whose county tax burden would not increase at all, other than the rising assessments that are hitting everyone. [/quote]

Oh for goodness' sake.  Not everything is about landlords and developers.  She's proposing a true progressive income tax that will help almost everyone making less than $300,000.  Many of whom rent.

And landlords won't have to pass the huge elrich property tax increase on to renters.

If it had been truly progressive than lower earners would get a bigger break than higher earners and we wouldn’t be shifting more tax burden onto wage earnings. The tax plan is a tax increase for most households and a regressive one at that. [/quote]

The income tax proposal is progressive. Lower earners would be taxed less than they are now.  And less than higher-earners.  We are shifting less tax burden onto wage earnings, not more.  [/quote]
